Frequently asked questions Can all my locks be rekeyed to use one key? Many locks in a home or building can be set to work with a single key, as long as they share the same keyway. A simple check is to insert the key from your main/front door into the other locks you want to change; if it inserts fully and easily, they can usually be rekeyed to match. Some lock types cannot be rekeyed, but these are uncommon. If I lose my keys, do I have to replace all my locks? In many cases, Howard Safe and Lock Co. can access your existing locks and rekey them instead of replacing them. This is often less expensive than full replacement. When replacement is necessary, the company's inventory and service team can usually complete the work and restore security the same day. Which locks can you repair? Many kinds of locks can be repaired rather than replaced. Lock manufacturers classify products by strength and durability; Howard Safe and Lock Co. services a wide range of these lock types. If you have a specific lock issue, you can call or email with details to confirm whether repair is an option. Can you open my safe if I do not know the combination or have lost the key? Yes. Howard Safe and Lock Co. has technicians who specialize in safe, vault and safe deposit lock servicing. Whether the problem is a lost or forgotten combination or another mechanical issue, certified safe and vault experts can usually diagnose and resolve the issue. What if I lose my vehicle keys? Howard Safe and Lock Co. can typically generate new vehicle keys without replacing the locks. Services include key duplication, smart key and remote programming, and maintaining an inventory that covers most makes and models. Can you service or monitor my existing burglar alarm? Howard Safe and Lock Co. can service and monitor many existing alarm systems. Some commercial systems use proprietary equipment that may not allow takeover; in those cases, options are more limited. Do I need battery backup for my CCTV system? Battery backup is recommended for power-dependent CCTV and security systems. In a power outage, battery backup helps systems continue operating for as long as the battery charge lasts.
